For over 150 years the Wotton family have worked productive, rolling farm land at Uraidla in the Adelaide Hill’s picturesque Piccadilly Valley.   In the summer season their cherries are the best.  In 1994, the first wine grapes were planted in fertile soils previously used for fruit growing and market gardening. Drop in or book a wine tasting at their cellar door and in summer look out for their ‘Open’ farm gate sign to purchase mouth watering cherries.
